4th of July and weekend Dale Hallow Trip

4th of July we enjoyed a day off of work, shopping, swimming and enjoying family time. We also got ready for our weekend trip to Dale Hallow Lake.

Plans for this weekend were to waterski, swim, tan, BBQ, inner tube, and hang out with family.

  After work and a 6 1/2 hour car ride we arrived in Dale Hallow. We were greeted by family coming into town and went to bed. We woke up in the middle of the night to a VERY relaxing rain hitting the roof of the barn and we even got to sleep in. Well, that relaxing RAIN DID NOT STOP all day. Some people would let that ruin their day but NOT us. We opened up the garage at great grandpa Kautz's and as more family arrived we had a BBQ in the garage surrounded by family and we watched it rain:). Some people even went out on the boat and to the beach and swam in the warm lake in the rain while others played fun games at the lake house.  It was a perfect day. 

To wrap up the day we gathered at the Kautz's barn house for Ava's "1st" bday party. We decided that we wanted family to share this special moment with Ava since we were all together :). Ava had a blast ( even though she is getting her cold AGAIN) 

She wasn't to sure of her cupcake and ate like a girl( nice and clean) 

Sunday was a beautiful morning and made it hard to leave but it was a fun weekend and we will be back soon enough to boat, tan and ski like planned :)'
